Fall 2024 | Architecture Design Studio III | Dr.

|Maddie

The Energy Plaza re-imagines a part of Houston’s Energy Corridor, blending residential, civic, and recreational spaces into a vibrant community hub. With a mix of high-rise and low-rise apartments, a central park, and a dynamic civic center, it creates a welcoming environment for both residents and visitors to connect, live, and thrive..

CIVIC CENTER

We experimented this semester with Veras, an A.I. rendering software. It was interesting to see how the software interpreted the geometry and material choices based off the given prompts.

When compared to the images rendered intentionally, the process becomes more clear. The intention was to mimic a natural environment in each setting, capitalizing on unique incorporations of daylighting.
